  • Ok thats fine and all but then why write a pointless post about a tool you’re using incorrectly? You’re using 2 years ago tech and complaining it doesn’t meet the expectations you have that you learned from people using today’s tech. Of course it won’t be as good. This stuff has advanced extremely quickly.


  • Wait you aren’t even using GPT4? Your whole point is invalid. Whaa whaaa credit card. Its $20. If you can’t afford that to upgrade your workflow, why are you even doing the work that you do? If its not worth $20 over a whole month, pennies per hour, how can you even justify waking up in the morning to even do it?


  • Chat GPT cannot count

    Its not supposed to. Its a really advanced next word* predictor. Its not actually processing the math you ask it. Its predicting what is the most likely response to your question + the previous words* it wrote and it keeps doing that until it thinks its done. You have to work with that in mind.

    Its great at spitting out mostly useful code thats tedious to write by hand. No idea about other stuff, but it doesn’t do everything. You have to understand its limitations and how to bypass them with prompt generation. Its not about writing longer prompts, its best to provide the most details as possible with the fewest words.

    *Word is a simplification, it actually works with tokens, which are pieces or representations of human readable words.
